I have a very good friend that just got sent there. You have to have a trade that you are very good at. It houses about 290 inmates. You have to earn the trust of all the CO's in the prison you're in. You can't request to be moved there and just be moved. It takes a lot of hard work. I think it's for inmates that have a long sentence. That's already done a lot of their time, and proved themselves.But if you can make it there you have it made. You have your own room a real bed,cable T.V. He works in the Baton Rouge area with no guards. He's almost free he just have to sleep there at night. He said it really is a honor to be sent the State Police Barracks. He is a state wide trustee.
